INTRODUCTION On June 19, 2013, the United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons released the 2013 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP Report). The TIP Report is comprehensive, well drafted, and thoroughly documented. In my opinion, the Report constitutes the primary reference and main source of information on efforts made by governments worldwide to combat trafficking in persons. The purpose of this review is to analyze the valuable information provided in the TIP Report. The Report is not only a diplomatic tool designed to engage governments in the battle against trafficking; it also serves an educational function, which has been the inspiration for this research. On behalf of The Protection Project, I would like to thank Luis CdeBaca, Ambassadorat-Large and Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons for providing us with an indispensable tool in the fight against human exploitation and for his leadership and commitment to this cause since the early efforts of the antitrafficking movement. I would also like to thank all the members of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons for this important work. Finally, I would like to thank Julia Braunmiller, Director of Legal Affairs, for preparing this publication. I would also like to express my appreciation for the staff and research associates of The Protection Project who have contributed to this review: Esther Cajinarobleto, Mandy Davis, Francisco Duran, Benita King, Kristoff Kohlhagen, Meaghan Malloy, Minora Pamphile, Elaine Panter, Jacob Travers, and Alisa Tsaturov. I hope you find this review informative.

This section observes victims that face confiscation of their travel documents, inflated debts forced by employers or labor agencies, abuse, confinement, and inhuman working conditions. For instance, some recruiters work for Indonesia-based international labor recruitment companies called PJTIKIs that work like trafficking rings. These companies lead both male and female workers into debt bondage. As a result, the victims face withholding of documents and threats of violence to remain working for these labor agencies.

The following column chart examines the different ways marriage is exploited in these 40 countries. Each category was counted individually, so the multiple listing of countries is possible. These marriages are primarily used for the purpose of sexual and/or labor exploitation. Women are victims of forced, fraudulent, fraudulently brokered, and temporary marriages. Children may also become victims of exploitative marriage. For example, girls forced into marriage are often subjected to domestic servitude and sexual slavery in the Central African Republic or sold by their parents and marriage brokers in Egypt.

4.a. The Profile of the Trafficker This chart summarizes the different profiles of traffickers included in the 2013 TIP Report. For example, trafficking techniques in Bangladesh include the fraudulent recruitment of migrant workers, where one type of job and conditions are promised, but upon arrival the job, employer, salary, and conditions are changed. Workers often face restrictions of movement, withholding of passports, threats of force, physical and sexual abuse, and threats of detention or deportation at the hands of their employer. The TIP Report notes that in Jamaica poor families send their children to live with better off families or local crime lords in hopes of a better life, but instead these children often fall prey to labor or sex trafficking. Each category in this chart was counted individually, so the multiple listing of countries is possible.

4.b. Technology and Trafficking in Persons This chart summarizes the incidence of new technologies used by traffickers as recorded by the 2013 TIP Report. In 18 countries, traffickers are explicitly mentioned as utilizing new technologies in trafficking operations. Such technologies include the use of social media and online websites. The 2013 TIP Report states that in Indonesia, there has been a growth in the number of university and high school students utilizing social media websites to recruit and offer other students, including those under the age of 18, for commercial sex. In Mongolia, traffickers have been increasingly using social networking sites and online advertisements in the place of fraudulent ads in newspapers and on television to recruit victims. For the purpose of this chart, all reported forms of trafficking are included.

In 20 of the reported countries, religious figures and/or religious pretext have been involved in trafficking schemes. For example, the 2013 TIP Report states that in Mauritania, some boys who attend Koranic schools are subjected to forced begging by corrupt imams and are often deprived of food and live in harsh conditions. In other instances the Report notes that Nigerian children in Italy are subjected to labor trafficking through debt bondage and voodoo rituals. For the purpose of this chart, all reported forms of trafficking are included.

5.b. Residency Status for Victims of Trafficking The following column chart summarizes the TIP Report 2013 country information relating to immigration and residency policies toward victims of trafficking. Thirty-nine countries offer temporary status to victims of trafficking and 29 countries offer such status if victims cooperate with law enforcement by testifying in court cases or facilitating the investigation process. Countries listed as offering permanent status (21) do not necessarily automatically offer this status to victims of trafficking; sometimes the status may be contingent upon the successful prosecution and conviction of victims’ traffickers. These same countries offer temporary status if victims do not qualify for permanent status. It should also be noted that permanent status does not equate with truly “permanent” rights to stay in the country, as legal requirements may entail a review of the victim’s circumstances after some years of residency, in addition to fulfilling other conditions such as law-abiding behavior, or enrollment in an educational institution, or participation in the workforce. Seventeen countries only provide permanent status to victims in face of retribution or hardship upon their removal; if this requirement is not met those victims may receive temporary status or no status at all.

5.e. Training of Peacekeeping Forces The following chart summarizes efforts to train peacekeepers on anti-trafficking in persons and international human rights. These trainings are conducted either as part of a general human rights briefing or as a specific anti-trafficking program. Forty-six countries trained their peacekeeping troops on preventing and combating trafficking in persons prior to their deployment on international peacekeeping missions. In nine countries, NGOs and/or foreign donors contributed to government efforts or conducted the training themselves. No training was provided in five countries, and 128 countries did not report on whether peacekeeping troops were trained or not.

5.f. Use of Technology to Combat Trafficking in Persons Eighty countries listed in the 2013 TIP Report are using technology to combat trafficking in persons. Such technologies include the use of telephone hotlines, websites providing legal information for victims, video testimony of victims in order to facilitate their participation in the prosecution of traffickers without requiring victims to experience the trauma of facing their traffickers, a trafficking database tracking previous convictions of traffickers, and email as a means of reporting or e-learning initiatives to train government staff in identifying instances of human trafficking. Although almost half of all countries provide a telephone hotline, the effectiveness of each hotline depends on public awareness and how often calls are responded to, is thereby contingent upon staffing and hours of hotline operation.

While the majority of demand reduction programs (34) target commercial sexual exploitation only, some countries are attempting to decrease the demand for forced labor. For example, addressing the demand for commercial sex acts and forced labor, Uruguayan authorities prosecuted some citizens for paying children for commercial sexual acts and enforced labor laws in cases involving Bolivian domestic workers working irregularly in Montevideo.

International, Bilateral, and Multilateral Cooperation International, bilateral, and multilateral cooperation between different countries and with international organizations is reported in 103 countries. According to the 2013 TIP Report, the Ghanaian government, with support from international organizations and NGOs, conducted anti-trafficking information and education campaigns throughout the country, including sensitization programs in the Volta Region and cocoa-producing communities. In Syria, the government failed to cooperate with international organizations. Cooperation between international organizations and governments is stated to be inadequate in 27 countries. In the remaining countries, no cooperation with international organizations and/or foreign governments is explicitly mentioned.

5.i. Victims’ Right to Compensation Forty-nine countries have options for trafficking victims to seek compensation or restitution for the damages incurred from a trafficking situation. Methods of compensation include civil suits, mandatory restitution from traffickers, confiscation of traffickers’ property or assets (reported by 14 countries), or, as in the cases of Nigeria, a state fund specifically for victim compensation. For example, in March 2013, the Constitutional Court of Colombia ordered members of a family that kept a child in domestic servitude from 1963 to 1975 to pay the victim compensation for physical and psychological damages. 133 countries did not report on the availability of compensation for victims.

Government Provision of Legal Aid According to the 2013 TIP Report, 77 countries provided trafficking victims with direct access to legal aid, while 14 countries refused trafficking victims any legal assistance or referral. The Austrian government, for example, funded a specialized anti-trafficking NGO that provided housing, psycho-social, and legal services in Vienna to female trafficking victims. The government of the Dominican Republic reported that the Attorney General’s Office of Legal Representation of Victims provided pro bono orientation, assistance, and legal representation to low-income victims. The TIP Report presented 97 countries in which the provision of governmental legal aid was not mentioned.

5.k. Victim Identification System The lack effective victim identification mechanisms leaves potential trafficking victims within vulnerable populations, such as women exploited in prostitution or illegal laborers, susceptible to unwarranted arrest or punishment. The TIP Report 2013 lists 17 countries with strong formal, established, systematic, and proactive victim identification procedures. Forty-one countries have moderate and 116 countries have weak victim identification procedures. In 14 countries, victim identification procedures are not formally established. The Report identifies best practices in Israel, for example, where the government adopted new identification procedures in 2012 that require all prison staff to notify a social worker of suspected trafficking victims in detention, who were in turn required to inform the police and legal aid; these procedures significantly increased the number of victims identified in detention facilities. In the Bahamas, the government implemented a newly developed formal protocol to guide front-line responders step-by-step in how to identify human trafficking victims and refer them to available services, defining the role of key government and NGO entities involved in victim protection. Immediately after the government published the protocol, officials identified two adult trafficking victims—a positive development as the government had previously not reported any victim identifications.

5.l. Non-Punishment Principle The 2013 TIP Report identified eleven countries as having implemented nonpunishment laws and/or policies protecting victims from punishment and deportation. Thirteen countries have non-punishment laws or policies but the lack of victim identification procedures leads to the penalization of trafficking victims who remain unidentified during judicial proceedings. Fifty-five countries routinely arrest, detain, and penalize trafficking victims for crimes committed as a direct result of being trafficked, such as prostitution or work without a permit. Forty-three countries report that no trafficking victims were punished.

Three countries incorporated such training in both forms of education programs. 143 countries did not provide such curricula or did not report on it. The Report identifies best practices. For example in Aruba, human trafficking awareness is incorporated into the police academy curriculum; in France, all tourism students are obligated to take course work on preventing child sex tourism.

6.d. Private Sector Initiatives and Corporate Social Responsibility In 23 countries, anti-trafficking partnerships between the public and private sectors are mentioned. Through partnership and collaboration, the government and the private sector engaged or worked together to enhance anti-trafficking initiatives in the country. For example, the TIP Report 2013 notes that in Kosovo, the government provided tax incentives to businesses that employed victims of trafficking.

These public-private partnerships take various forms. In six countries, the public sector and private sector engaged in trainings or conferences to enhance anti-trafficking measures. In seven countries, the private sector provided funding for anti-trafficking measures. Some of the public-private partnerships mentioned did not fall into the aforementioned categories; for example, the TIP Report 2013 notes that in Aruba, the government has agreements with local NGOs and private sector accommodations for sheltering adult victims of trafficking. In some instances, multiple public-private partnerships are mentioned for one country.

6.e. Use of Religion to Combat Trafficking in Persons The TIP Report 2013 documents seven countries in which religious leaders and/or faith-based organizations are engaged in advocacy and prevention efforts and there are ten countries in which religious entities provide shelter and other protection services to trafficking victims. For example, the Department of Social Welfare and the Department of Education of The Gambia launched a program that provided financial support and resources to Koranic schools on the condition that their students are not forced to beg, reaching over 1,000 children; the number of Koranic students who were previously subjected to forced begging has decreased substantially since the launch of the program. The Report also notes that the government of Kuwait made an effort to reduce overseas child sex tourism by requiring some mosques to deliver Friday sermons on the danger of sex trafficking abroad and Islam’s strict teachings against improper sexual relations.
